    I hope someone will be able to assist with this.

    I have a website https://www.mobrealtyservices.com hosted on AWS and everything on the hosting is running fine.

    The only issue I have is with the Yoast SEO plugin. I contacted AWS support and their discovery is shown in the first screenshot(please check the attached screenshot).

    On search engines, instead of the homepage URL to pop up, the IP address shows up. Also, when I paste the homepage URL on WhatsApp, the IP address shows up instead of the domain name(please check the other screenshot). Meanwhile, the URL on other pages are not responding that way, they work fine.

    Why is the homepage showing IP address instead of custom domain. The remaining pages are okay.

    How do I fix that?

    The link to the screenshot is here. https://www.facebook.com/groups/yoast/permalink/5305886209477118/

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hello @mobrealty,

    Thanks for reaching out regarding your homepage URL.

    First, since you do not have an active Yoast SEO Premium subscription but your site is running an outdated version and this forum is reserved for supporting the free version of Yoast SEO, you can either purchase a subscription or downgrade to the free version.

    To the reported issue, I checked your site and you have an IP address as the canonical URL. This can be resolved by resetting the indexables table and migrations and the process has been summarized in the steps below:

    1. Install & activate the?Yoast Test Helper plugin
    2. Go to Tools > Yoast Test
    3. Locate the Yoast SEO section and click on the ‘Reset indexables tables & migrations’, ‘Reset Prominent words calculation’, and ‘Reset Internal link counter’ buttons. After each click, the page will reload to confirm that the specific reset was successful.
    4. Go to SEO > Tools, and under SEO data, click the “Start SEO data optimization” button to allow Yoast to rescan your content.

    Please let us know if the reported issue remains after resetting the optimized data.

    By the way, you can provide us with screenshots that highlight the issue you are experiencing next time by using any image-sharing service like https://pasteboard.co/, https://snag.gy/, https://imgur.com/, https://snipboard.io/, or even upload the screenshot to your own website. Once you upload it to an image sharing service, please share the link to the image here.
